FreeBSD-SA-16:20.linux Security Advisory

The FreeBSD Project
|
|
|
|
Topic: Kernel stack disclosure in Linux compatibility layer
|
|
|
|
Category: core
|
|
Module: linux(4)
|
|
Announced: 2016-05-31
|
|
Credits: CTurt
|
|
Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD.
|
|
Corrected: 2016-05-31 16:57:42 UTC (stable/10, 10.3-STABLE)

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
|
|
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
|
|
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD is binary-compatible with the Linux operating system through a
|
|
loadable kernel module/optional kernel component. The support is provided
|
|
for amd64 and i386 machines.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
The implementation of the TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
|
|
struct before copying it out to userland.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of the Linux sysinfo() system call does not clear the
|
|
output struct before copying it out to userland.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
An unprivileged user can read a portion of uninitialised kernel stack data,
|
|
which may contain sensitive information, such as the stack guard, portions
|
|
of the file cache or terminal buffers, which an attacker might leverage to
|
|
obtain elevated privileges.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available, but systems not using the Linux binary
|
|
compatibility layer are not vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
The Linux compatibility layer is not included in the default GENERIC kernel.
|
|
|
|
The following command can be used to test if the Linux binary compatibility
|
|
layer is loaded:
|
|
|
|
# kldstat -m linuxelf
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
|
|
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
|
|
|
|
Reboot is required.
|
|
|
|
2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
|
|
|
|
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
|
|
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
|
|
|
|
# freebsd-update fetch
|
|
# freebsd-update install
|
|
|
|
Reboot is required.
|
|
|
|
3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
|
|
|
|
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
|
|
FreeBSD release branches.
|
|
|
|
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
|
|
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
|
|
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:20/linux.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:20/linux.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify linux.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src
|
|
# patch < /path/to/patch
|
|
|
|
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
|
|
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
VI. Correction details
